To be honest, Fang Zilu was very surprised when she received Mr. Yu’s call, especially Mr. Yu asked her to come to Bincheng as soon as possible.

She is the famous chip queen in H Company, and has been in charge of the research and development of Kirin chips before.

It can be said that H Company's Kirin chip has been able to develop to this day, and she has definitely made great contributions.

But recently, she has felt particularly tired, yes, because of the ban from the United States.

On the surface, H Company seems to have a calm ban on the United States, but in fact they are struggling.

Now the international ban against them has been further upgraded, and they not only cannot obtain the products and technologies given to H by Country Company M.

Even other electronics industry companies around the world, especially those that use M domestic products and technologies, are not allowed to supply H.

This makes Company H very uncomfortable. After all, it can be obtained through other channels before.

But now I can’t even walk on the curve, and such a life is really too sad for them.

Don’t look at Sansang’s claims that they independently own the entire mobile phone manufacturing industry chain technology.

But in fact? If it weren't for the technical support of M Country, how could they have developed to where they are today?

Even Japanese electronic companies that claim to be the world's leading technology did not dare to speak out at this time. After all, many of their technologies and equipment came from Country M in the final analysis.

Therefore, H Company can only face two ways: one is to admit defeat by a single person and withdraw from the mobile phone field, and at the same time, it also completely admits defeat by giving in the 5G field.

Otherwise, you can only choose another way, which is to go to the end with those international giants and then break the situation by yourself.

In fact, there must be a large number of people within H Company that prefer the previous path.

But the reality is that that path cannot be taken at all.

So they had to bite the bullet and go the second path.

But the road they are going to take is destined to be full of thorns, and according to the current situation, it can be said that this road depends on themselves.

In the past, they just did chip design, but now they even have to complete chip production by themselves.

This is really too difficult. After all, producing chips is not a simple task. If you spend money for more than ten or twenty years, you won’t be able to get any results.

As one of the company's elders, Mr. Fang has been under great pressure recently.

In fact, long before Tejid announced that it would cut off chip supply to H Company, the company had held meetings for many consecutive times to discuss countermeasures.

At that time, what the company's big bosses said most during a meeting was that they regretted not having planned hardware production at the beginning.

Now that I want to start over, it’s too late.

And now even if they want to catch up again, they still face many problems.

The first is external technical limitations. For example, in countries that master lithography machines, people will not sell you the best lithography machines.

Even if you have money, you won't sell it...

Secondly, if you want to produce by yourself, you have to face the problem of industrial overlap.

You see, there are already a few such companies in China? You are coming in and doing it, this is a waste.

After all, chip production is an industry with high capital and high intelligence, and there are only so many resources in this area in China.

There are already other companies doing it. If Company H is joining, it will inevitably affect the problem of resource allocation.

For example, if you want to poach people from other companies, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction from other companies, etc.

So during that period, Company H was also worried, but it failed to make any actual actions.

During that time, Mr. Fang could be said to have a meeting every day, finishing with his superiors, and then holding with his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

Anyway, she didn't feel comfortable all year last year.

And this year, the boot they had been worried about had fallen to the ground.

The sanctions from abroad have continued to be increased, and the specialty can no longer hold on. They can only nod and say that they will no longer supply H Company.

In this way, Company H ended up being exhausted from ammunition and food.

Fortunately, the order they placed before also prepared a certain amount of inventory.

However, the inventory will be used up one day sooner or later. According to Mr. Yu's previous meeting, their mobile phone sales department will try their best to follow suit.

But at most they can give the R&D department a two-year event.

And two years later, if the chip department and R&D department really can't come up with suitable chips.

Then their H Company's mobile phones will really withdraw from the market.

This made Mr. Fang feel that the pressure on her body was a little more. During this period, she worked an average of sixteen hours a day.

Sometimes she even just slept in the company. As a strong woman, she has always insisted on charging on the front line.

And they finally made a series of measures, such as starting to poach people directly from domestic chip factories.

Because they can no longer hand over their destiny to others, even if these people are friendly forces.

No, you can't wait any longer. You really have to do it yourself.

Moreover, the above said that it will give her the maximum support. Even though she knows that the department she is in charge may not have any results within ten or even twenty years.

But the boss at the top of the company still said that he would definitely give her the greatest support. He hoped that she could lead the team to bring the company's wolf-like culture to the extreme, and strive to solve the chip problem in the fastest time.

Recently, Mr. Fang has been in seclusion and has organized meetings of her employees for a month.

The key that everyone has been discussing is the direction of future chip development.

Currently, the mainstream chip process on the market is 7nm, while TSMC's most advanced chip process has reached 5nm, and Samsung has also announced that it will enter 3nm and 2nm.

The best chip company in China currently has a process that has exceeded 14nm, but the yield rate is only 25%.

However, it is still two generations away from the world's top 5nm, 10nm and 7nm technologies.

And at present, in terms of lithography machines, we have been stuck in the neck by the asml of the Netherlands.

The problem now is that even if we have money, people will not sell it to us.

The reality is that even if the Netherlands want to sell, they dare not, because the real major shareholder behind ASML is actually the world's largest power.

The world's number one does not nod, the Netherlands will never dare to sell lithography machines to us.

So the problem now is that if we want to make the best chip, we need a better lithography machine.

But this area has always been our shortcoming. Currently, the domestic lithography machine has only 28nm accuracy, which is still far from the world's top level.

So the problem they are facing now is how to solve the problem of lithography machines.

If H Company starts manufacturing lithography machines now, it may take decades, but the problem is that when you develop lithography machines, people will continue to update and iterate.

So you can only follow all the way behind your butt, which will make you unable to catch up with others forever.

In addition, according to Moore's Law, the limit of silicon chips may be 1nm.

Even if they follow up in the next few decades and reach the limit of 1nm, they might have already moved in and started to develop other types of chips.

So, the debate about their chip department in the future has been very serious recently.

There is also the chip design department, which is also a headache now because the Americans have banned all the tools they use.

It turns out that if they want to design chips, they must use the world's number one design tool EDA. Now they have banned your design tools.

This greatly delayed the progress of chip design. Mr. Fang had already instructed everyone to give up the next generation of chip design work for the time being.

Turning around and starting to develop tools, although this is not small, it is at least not as big as the hardware gap.

Recently, people have finally come up with some good ideas in various brainstorming collisions.

That is, since they may not be able to use the top-level chips for a while in the future, they might as well dig potential on the original chips.

For example, redesign the previous 970, 980, and 990 chips.

Then add plug-ins and artificial intelligence programs to these chips to enhance the computing power of these chips.

In this way, the size may not be as large as those single main chips, but the performance may be improved.

At least it will not be pulled too far away by others. The only flaw may be that there will be some shortcomings in heat dissipation and energy consumption.

But these can all solve problems by increasing battery capacity and improving the design of thermal hardware.

And this direction has become the mainstream direction of their research recently.

Recently, President Fang has been coordinating the division of cooperation within the department, so when he received Mr. Yu's call, he was really surprised.

The meaning of Mr. Yu calling her is very simple: "With a breaking plan, come quickly!"

At the beginning, when Mr. Yu said this, Mr. Fang naturally wouldn't believe it. She even felt that her old partner was confused.

But when she heard Mr. Yu's voice trembling with excitement, she suddenly believed it.

Mr. Fang still knows about Mr. Yu’s character. Although this guy often fires fire at press conferences, he is even often ridiculed by domestic consumers.

But the problem is that this guy's most famous deed is that although he has fired fire at press conferences many times, the cannons he has fired have become reality in the end.

This is what makes consumers most willing to give him a thumbs up, and even many people within the company are convinced by this boss.

Now he called himself and said that there was a way to break the deadlock, so that President Fang could not refuse to believe it.

So she asked her assistant to book a flight to Bincheng as soon as possible...

Regardless of whether the way Mr. Yu said to break the deadlock was true or false, she decided to go over and take a look with her own eyes.

And she firmly believed that with her old partner's eyes, she would not misjudgment or fool herself.

She was even a little impatient about the way she said to break the deadlock. After all, it was really hard for her now...
